We currently have seven fully-stocked ambulances in service that are ready to handle any medical emergency situation. In addition to the ambulances, Mount Laurel EMS hosts one of the State of New Jersey's one Mass Casualty Trailers, which is available to all townships in Burlington County and other areas in New Jersey if requested . This trailer is stocked with supplies capable of providing treatment to as many as fifty patients in a single incident.

Mount Laurel EMS is proud to be the first EMS service in Burlington County to have special bariatric equipment that allows us to provide emergency response for bariatric patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EMT?

EMT stands for Emergency Medical Technician. These individuals must participate in classroom and online instruction in order to qualify to take both a written and practical exam that has been approved by the State of New Jersey Division of Transportation. After certification, the EMT is continually updating their skills through additional training sessions.

Can anyone become an EMT?

The standards that are set for starting the EMT class include a minimum age of sixteen, CPR certification at the professional rescuer level, and the ability to perform the duties with which emergency medical technicians come in contact. Students in high school may enter the program as long as they have reached the age of sixteen.

What is CPR?

Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is given to those patients whose heart has stopped beating and they have ceased breathing. Through a series of rescue breathing and compressions administered to the chest, CPR helps give those patients a chance for survival. CPR works best when started as soon as it is deemed necessary.
